My guess is that it's your soil. It doesn't look very 'plant friendly', to me. Looks like it needs areation/drainage. Also, I see burnt leaf tips, which is likely an overfert problem. What kind of soil is that, and is there any extra nutes added? Ever use it before? PH?
 
Actually... One Is In Rockwool And The Other Is In A Seed Starter.. Root's Are Not Even In The Dirt Yet... But The Dirt Is Potting Soul, humus / Manure And Vermiculite / Perlite... Ummm No, Not Really.. I Just Give Them Water...I Did Use That Superthrive Awhile Back.. But Only A Drop In The Water That I Watered Them With... And The Drainage Is Good... Soil Is'nt Tight Either... Should I Take Them Out Of The Rockwool And Seed Starter And Put Them In Just My Dirt?
 
Shit.... Maybe 2 Week's Old, And About 3 Inch's Away From Lights.... Should I Move Them To The HPS?? And I Leave The Light's On For About 16 Hour's.... And I Give A Lil Water Each Mornin... Not Alot.. Just To Keep Soil Moist..DSC01295.jpg

no the cfls should be good for now.i think u should skip 2days on the water. then water them heavy then wait about 5 days before u water again. u could be over watering. is this ur first grow.to me thats the only thing it could be unless it just a slow strain.
if ur pots feel heavy to lift ur overwaterin. keep track of the weight of ur pots thats the best way to know when to water
 
Appreciate It Bro... Hope This Help's.... And No... I Use To Help On Some Hydro.. So This Is My Only Soil Grow... But Iv Found Plants And Tried Different Stuff.. Just Never With A Light.. Just In At Night And Out At Day... But You Prolly Right... Ima Try The Less Water Thing And Make Them Root's Dig For It....Buy My Soil Drainage Is Good I Think, It Drip's Not Run's.....

no to the super thrive and how much light u got.
Well, I respectfully disagree. I use Super Thrive in most all of my plants and especially when they are not acting up to par. I have been using it on all kinds of plants for over 40 yrs and was turned on to it by my grandfather. One drop per gallon only. Lightwise I would say you are ok for the time being, but there again everyone has their own theory the lights. Personally I only use lights for a few hours each day and the rest of the time they are outside, so I won't claim superior knowledge on that part of the question. Good Luck and let us know how they turn out.
 
That;s Cool.... I DIdnt think super thrive would be bad... but my bottle says 1/4 teasspoon per gal... but i put i put like a drop or 2 per 20oz water bottle.. sorry for missplelling .. im drnkinkg..... it also says soaking roots for 15 t 30 min.... but what about seeds???? can you put a drop or 2 on seeds..?????? i have a few skunk1 seeds... but i also have a few seeds from female plants.... will it help them??/ they not produching.... i know they not fertalized,,, i had maybe 2 sprout but the other 20 or so havnt done anything....... i might just make cloned from the Skunk1 plants later on....... tnanks everone for the help.. i will let you know how the grow goes.... and will post pics..... good luck to all of you and myself haha.... later people.... any other tips or anythign would be great... thanks again..... uch love and respect

I don't believe that it will help ungermed seeds but it does help them once they have broken ground. Over the years here in RIU, I have had other screennames in the past and there are many threads and many opinions on super thrive so I think it is just something you are going to have to try on one plant and not another to see for yourself what you think of the product. Just remember that in growing especially growing in soil that patience is the key word, it is the one thing you need the most of. Good Luck and Keep us posted on your progress.
 
That's cool.. I will deffently check it out... and try on one plant, rather than all... and see what happens... and in know soil is slower but tastes so much better... and i will keep you updated on it.. i take pics almost every 3 to 5 days.... thanks again man...
